Re: 1947 Packard pickup truck?

Packard ceased truck production about 1923. What we often see in vintage photos are trucks made by dealers for use as service cars. Often these were made from a wrecked or otherwise low value trade-in. Some of these are exceptionally good looking and I've got quite a few pictures of them which I'll look for.
But more recently several craftsmen have created "new" trucks to resemble the type of service trucks Packard dealers might have had. Enclosed is one example, owned by a well-known New Jersey collector. There are at least a dozen or more very professionally made creations such as this, quite a few of them on prewar junior chassis. Can't say however that I've seen one on a Clipper chassis.
